Sumerian artifacts

Sumerian artifacts are ancient objects created by the Sumerians, one of the world’s earliest civilizations, who lived in Mesopotamia around 3000 BCE. These artifacts include clay tablets with early writing (cuneiform), jewelry, statues, and tools, offering insight into their daily life, religion, and governance. They help us understand Sumerian culture, their innovations like writing and irrigation, and their contributions to human history. Preserved in museums and archaeological sites, these artifacts connect us to a civilization that laid the foundations for later societies in the Middle East and beyond.
